The win in Radom handed Lech their 10th Polish top-flight title and secured qualification to next season’s UEFA Champions League qualifiers, with the club sealing the championship one match before the end of the campaign.

It was a historic afternoon for Kolejorz, who registered their first-ever away league victory against Radomiak after previously struggling against the hosts in recent meetings.

Lech captain Mikael Ishak once again proved decisive, registering a goal and an assist, while Luis Palma also starred as coach Niels Frederiksen’s side controlled proceedings on their way to the title triumph.

After the final whistle, jubilant scenes erupted as players and club staff stormed the pitch in celebration.

The squad later changed into special blue commemorative jerseys decorated with a gold star before continuing the celebrations with traveling supporters and inside the dressing room as champagne flowed freely.

Although Ouma did not feature in the starting XI during the title-clinching encounter, the Kenyan midfielder played an important squad role throughout the season.

The former Nairobi City Stars midfielder managed 21 appearances across the campaign, including 12 starts, accumulating 1,110 minutes in his first full season at the club after initially arriving on loan.

The 21-year-old did not score but provided one assist while maintaining an impressive 80 percent passing accuracy from midfield.

The league triumph now marks the third trophy of Ouma’s professional career.

His first title came in Sweden with IF Elfsborg, where he won the Allsvenskan U21 title in 2022 shortly after leaving Kenya.

He later added the Czech First League crown with SK Slavia Prague during the 2024/25 campaign before completing his latest success in Poland with Lech Poznań.
